[Xerte] Re: Connectors Hot spot image connector & Audio

[Alistair McNaught]

Hi Jason - do you specifically need to show the Flash version? If not, forget about the FLV videos and only upload the MP4.
You can also upload anykind of file (Word, PowerPoint etc) via the Properties Panel > Media > Upload. Does this sort your question?

Finally, I'd love to see some of your LOs if they are going to be publicly available - do consider the Showcase area of the Xerte.org.uk website - we'd love to see examples of connectors used in Fire service training!

Thanks Ron

I have now mastered the audio hot spot connector!

I'm a bit confused how to upload both mp4 and flv videos, I have tried to choose 2 videos for the same hot spot but it defaults to one. I have tried to upload them in the same video file line but I can't see both of them there. Does that make sense?

Thanks

Jason

Hi Jason
Firstly .wav won't work it must be .mp3
Also for video to work via both Flash view and HTML5 view upload a .flv and .mp4 with identical names. Upload the .mp4 first then the .flv e.g. video1.mp4 followed by video1.flv

Regarding the sound issue I'm not sure if it's just the fact that linux servers are case sensitive or if the currnt code only looks for lower case .mp3 but your xml has the following: FileLocation + 'media/ZOOM0004.MP3' but when you download the file it's ZOOM0004.mp3

Try re-naming the file locally with a lowercase .mp3 and re-uploading. in fact it's good practice to keep everything lowercase anyway and avoid spaces and special characters etc. Works for me with your mp3 click the middle of the pic in this test http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_74

Sorry I should make myself clearer - are you using the html version of the page or the flash based one?

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hello everyone

Me again!  Just after some help with inserting audio clips into image hot spot in connectors. Loving the new connectors over the old hot spot but I haven't quite mastered adding audio clips. This is what I've done, could someone tell me how I should do it please?

1.      Created a 'sound'  from 'optional properties', created a hot spot on an image and uploaded an MP3 audio clip. When I click on the hot spot an intermediate box appears saying 'download file', when I click on this, audio file appears in Media player, sound plays but if I navigate away from this page or hit another hotspot the sound continues, how do I stop it playing without having to click back on the audio hot spot and downloading file - which seems to stop it?
2.      Created another hot spot 'sound'. This time uploaded wav file, this time an audio toolbar loads (great) but when I click the play button the audio track doesn't play.  Why?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Jason
